NAMI Marin invites you to attend a conference on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for psychosis
conducted by a team of experts from England led by Dr. Doug Turkington. Click here for his
credentials.
CBT is recognized internationally as a first line of treatment in addition to medication for persons with
schizophrenia for early intervention, to help with medication resistant patients, and to assist patients in
managing their symptoms and promoting long-term recovery.
This 3-day conference is divided into modules that are directed to health care providers as well as
families of those living with serious mental illness:
Days 1 and 2 (May 16 and 17): For clinicians and other providers of mental health services,
the topics will include discussion and demonstration of CBT techniques for schizophrenia.
Day 3 (May 18): For families and clinicians interested in understanding family member issues,
the topics will include discussion and demonstration of ways to use CBT skills to more
effectively work with loved ones.

The location in Marin County will be announced at a later date. Please call 415-444-0480 for
